Posted this elsewhere but I’ll ask here too.

Say for instance two or three instances have their own version of a sublemmy for some niche topic. Is it possible to group those sublemmys together so I can view posts from each federated instance as if they were all on one site?

Sure, over time things might normalize and one instances sublemmy will probably reign supreme, but for now is this possible?

There’s an open feature request for this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Oh sweet, good to know devs are discussing it.

This is a good feature, let’s hope it will get implemented soon.

Yeah, it’s cool seeing the plans being made after the unexpected surge in users. Lemmy a year from now could be very different.

Others have answered your main question but just so you know, the word you’re looking for there is “community” :)

don’t think that’s possible atm but I’d love to see that functionality get added as well

No, not possible at this time. It is a requested feature, so maybe eventually.

Hi JB, I went down this rabbit hole last week, here is a post I made summarizing what I found, with links to the dev’s GH discussions of the different ideas for implementing the linking of communities, both within an instance or across instances, public or private, mod or user created. These features would likely be implemented separately.

There is also a link to a firefox extension that you may find useful while the dev work is ongoing.

!slide@feddit.uk has subreddits as a feature built in and, while it is still early days, there’s no reason it couldn’t work here (Calckey has antennas which is, probably, fancier).

u can use an rss reader and put their rss links in one folder, now u can read them together.

Hi. You’ve posted the same question in a couple different places. You might consider waiting for an answer before doing that. Thank you!

Ok I posted it once before in another sub not “a couple of places”, but genuine question, why do you care?

Just want to keep the signal to noise ratio down. And posting it in two places is, indeed posting “in a couple of places”. Anyway, I’m not upset just asking politely. Have a lovely day friend!
